SIX The Musical tells a gripping story of the six wives of King Henry VIII, who step out of the shadow of their infamous husband and reclaim their own narratives.

From Tudor Queens to Pop Stars, they take to the mic, strut their stuff, and rewrite their trauma in this unmissable show packed full of catchy songs and empowering messages, inspiring audiences to embrace their own strength and celebrate girl power.

The sensational tunes, cleverly crafted lyrics, and infectious energy of the show all contribute to this must-see HER-story piece, bridging the past and the present and helping it win international recognition.

Created by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, SIX The Musical first opened at Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2017 and soon became a smash hit in both UK and worldwide, attracting more than 3.5 million people all over the world each year.

SIX redefines the boundaries of musical theatre and utilizes a groundbreaking combination of history and pop rock music, engaging audiences of all ages and becoming a global cultural phenomenon.

It not only continually plays to sold out houses in London and on its record-breaking UK tour, but also takes theatreland by storm all over the world.

Just as its lyrics saying 'one of a kind, no category,' SIX retells the history from a feminist perspective, illumining your knowledge of musical theatre.

To date, the critically acclaimed musical has won 35 international awards, including two Tony Awards.
